About

Public swimming pool with a clean environment and friendly staff.

Specific pool temperatures for this outdoor, seasonal facility are not consistently published or readily available. As is typical for outdoor public pools, its water temperature would naturally fluctuate with ambient weather conditions and is generally not maintained at a precisely heated level.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility is generally praised for its cleanliness (pool and locker rooms) and its friendly, helpful staff and lifeguards. Many find it a wonderful place for families and friends, especially for hot summer days, and appreciate the quality of the classes offered. However, there are significant operational concerns, including limited hours (e.g., Mon/Thurs only with 30-minute reserved swim times in Summer 2021) and a major issue with customer service, particularly difficulty reaching staff by phone regarding pre-paid lessons cancelled due to the pandemic and unresolved refunds. The location is noted as inconspicuous, and the facility closes during thunderstorms.

Currently open only on Monday and Thursdays for summer 2021. You have to make a reservation in advance and only get 30 minutes of swim time, which equals about 30 laps for me so it’s a nice little workout. Also, they close during thunderstorms which happened today.

Been trying to call this place everyday for weeks now and nobody answers the phone. 441-1760?? My son was signed up for swim lessons when the pandemic started and I had already prepaid for a class. Then they closed due to COVID. Never recieved a phone call about class or reimbursement and now I can never get them to answer the phone. Looks like I will HAVE to go up there, which is redic

Pool is relatively clean, staff are pretty friendly, locker rooms are simple but clean as well. Very inconspicuous location, though. Didn't know this was a pool until we finally went inside to find out what it was.
